I work at a tobacco shop. And after they said I blown through a stop sign. When asked when drinking I said no. Then he said I smelled, and I quote, “of something suspicious”. I get cops get their paycheck for tickets and such but seriously has it really gotten this bad that for a ticket they try to make it something bigger? and ignoring my rights?

    No matter how much we expect/hope/demand cops to be superhuman, they will never be.

      That’s not superhuman. It’s training. Before radar guns were so easy to get and such, they trained cops on estimating speed. And then they tested them to ensure their accuracy before letting them write speeding tickets. But now… they get the bare min training.

        Your example is both irrelevant and inaccurate; cops still get speed estimation training.
